GATHER
Food, friendship, and connection. Gather is how
we build community—around the table or over a
drink. It’s where strangers become friends and
every conversation feels like home.
BRIDGEHOUSE EAT
Expect easy introductions and genuine connection at every dinner.
BRIDGEHOUSE DRINK
Coffee or cocktails, same connection.
START YOUR OWN GATHERING
Bridgehouse is growing city by city through people who care about connection. If your city doesn’t have a regular dinner or coffee meetup yet, you can start one with our support.
We look for hosts who are kind, dependable, and consistent —people who love creating space for others to connect. We'll guide you through everything with a simple playbook, mentorship, and ongoing support.
You'll do great if you:
Enjoy connecting people and making them feel welcome
Can organize one gathering each month
Communicate clearly and represent Bridgehouse values of kindness and respect
WHAT TO EXPECT
can come alone or bring friends—it’s always relaxed, easy, and genuine.
Typical Gather flow:
Arrive and be greeted by one of the hosts or members
Share a meal or drink and join conversations
Connect with people who understand expat and local life
Leave with new friends and plans to meet again
We build bridges through
shared moments.
WHY GATHER MATTERS
We build bridges through shared moments.
Bridgehouse began with simple dinners. What makes it work is that people choose connection over isolation, week after week. Around every table, new friendships form, ideas grow, and a genuine community takes shape.
EXPAT COMMUNITY
Where it all began.
Bridgehouse began with the California Expat YouTube and Facebook community in BGC. The heart
has not changed, kind people, real connection, and practical help for expats and locals alike.
